Fiboro Bridges

Island-Hopping via Foot, Bicycle or Rollerblade

Fact:As of Spring 2001, all of the Manhattan East River Bridges provide 24-hour bike and pedestrian access for the first time in at least
50 years.

Bridges not on the map can be found at left.

In New York, the city of bridges, it can be hard to get to where
youre going by bicycle or rollerblade. Negotiating the citys
bridges can be tricky, and many of the citys bridges are difficult
or impossible for cyclists to cross. In addition, a number of recent construction
projects have been holding up bicycle access on some of NYCs most
important bridges.

Thats why Transportation Alternatives
has put together this guide to NYC Metro area bridges. Click on a bridge
or body of water above, and well tell you if you can bike or rollerblade
on it, how to get there, and maybe other interesting information.
